Phoca Forum

I have looked and read, and may have over looked, and if so, I apologize in advance.

I'm trying to use an absolute path outside of my public directory. I have used FTP to place a file in one of the directories, but not sure how I make it accessible from the category view. I see the folders I made within the absolute path, as I have different folder for different people. If I go into the back end and click on Components/Phoca Download, I am able to then click on files. I click New, and then I select a file name. In the file name modal popup, I have the folders listed in the absolute path. If I click on a folder, it refreshes the screen and I see the same thing. I would assume that I should be able to see the file and the folder location should change to being inside the folder. Any assistance would be great. Thanks. I don't receive an error from what I can see.

Ok. I came back to this with a new set of eyes and was able to get this working. I missed one step that I didn't realize. I forgot to enable FTP inside of Joomla. The other issue was that I had spaces for my folder names, which the system didn't like. I replaced the spaces with underscores and everything seems to be working fine. I am able to upload from the backend and add files to each category. Great component in all. Thanks!

Ok
